Jeter's Next Big Swing

"I don't miss playings," says the retired Yankee, as the press-shy captain leads website The Players' Tribune, where DeAndre Jordan and Tiger Woods break news (sorry, ESPN) and backers are betting on a media home run

Shia LaBeouf Tweets He's Retiring From Public Life

The actor's latest revelation comes after he received and tweeted a cease-and-desist letter from Daniel Clowes' lawyer.

Shia LaBeouf is throwing in the towel.

The actor tweeted early Friday morning that he's retiring from public life, a revelation that comes after he received, and tweeted, a cease-and-desist letter from a lawyer for Daniel Clowes, whose comics he's accused of plagiarizing with his short film HowardCantour.com.

It's unknown how this "retirement" will manifest itself, and LaBeouf's Twitter account was still active as of Friday afternoon. It's also unclear to what extent LaBeouf's remarks were prompted by Clowes' attorney's letter.

Late Tuesday, the actor tweeted photos of a letter from attorney Michael Kump at Kinsella Weitzman.

"He must stop his improper and outlandish conduct directed at Mr. Clowes and his works, and [LaBeouf] must take all necessary and appropriate steps to redress his wrongs. … Leave Mr. Clowes alone, and address and fix these problems immediately," Kump wrote.

LaBeouf's rep has not yet responded to The Hollywood Reporter's request for comment.
